I would like to second the total avoidance of any topical steroidal treatments with these horses. Years ago, before I even knew about equine Cushings I had a 26 year old thoroughbred who had an eye infection. The vet prescribed a steroid cream. He blistered all down his face and on his legs where he had rubbed his eyes - big weeping sores. The vet had never seen a reaction like it. Very shortly after he developed laminitis. Knowing what I know now he so obviously had Cushings poor old fellow.
